Workstation Installation

1. Make sure you are logged onto Windows as an Administrator

2. Run the Velocity_Installer_3.8.6(build-3.8.6.xxx).exe file:

   • If you have a Velocity 3.8.6 installation DVD, insert it into your DVD drive, and the auto-start feature should automatically start the Velocity Installer

   • If you downloaded the files to install Velocity 3.8.6, use Windows Explorer to navigate to the file folder and double-click on Velocity_Installer_3.8.6(build-3.8.6.xxx).exe

3. After the Velocity Installer’s Welcome (or splash) screen appears, click Next

4. On the resulting End-User License Agreement page, select the “I agree to the terms in the License Agreement” option to continue or “I do not accept the License Agreement” to exit the setup. If you want to print the EULA, press the Print button. When finished, click Next

5. Select the Workstation option at the Install Options screen and either accept the currently displayed SQL server or select a different one, then click Next

12. At the Database Installation screen, specify the location where the Install, Data, Log, and Backups will reside, then click Next

    Install: This is the drive, path, and directory name where all SQL Server files will be installed. The default location is displayed. To select a different location, use the Browse button to specify that location.
    Data: This is the drive where the Installer automatically configures the SQL data path for the Velocity Database to the default folder. You can click the Browse button to choose a different folder. A *.mdf extension is used for identifying the data file.
    Log: This is the drive where the Installer automatically configures the SQL log path for the Velocity Database to the default folder. You can click the Browse button to choose a different folder. A *.ldf extension is used for identifying the log file.
    Backup: This is the drive where the Installer automatically configures the SQL backup path for the Velocity Database to the default folder. You can click the Browse button to choose a different folder. A *.bak extension is used for identifying the backup file.

13. At the resulting Application Installation screen, either accept the default location where Velocity will be installed or specify a different location, then click Next
